Matt Zoller Seitz New York Times A droll comedy about the impossibility of shaking the burdens of your dreams and obligations. Rated: 4/5 May 25, 2007 Full Review Nathan Lee Village Voice Based on a novel by Augustina Bessa- Lus, a frequent de Oliveira collaborator, the film is perversely textual, an endlessly talking picture seemingly addressed to no one but itself. May 23, 2007 Full Review Ray Bennett The Hollywood Reporter Oliveira's touch is sure and the result is an atmospheric piece of work that lingers in the mind. Oct 12, 2005 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net If you have never loved de Oliveira, this film will be a hard sell, even though it is more lyrical than most of his previous work.
